Military Industrial Complex. Read/listen to Antony Lowenstein’s The Palestine Laboratory. Also a documentary called the Occupation of the American Mind. Money is a huge part of it and this will explain.

They must always have the last word.

Yep. You can imagine the discussion: “well after you let Sidoti and Saul say all those terrible things, enough! We demand the opportunity to counter those LIES!”

He’s got the whole box’n’dice!

Sensible centring, Ed.

Where was that paragraph?

Not just that you will be punished for standing up for the oppressed, but that you will be ritually humiliated and made an example of.
Hello, world?

The word I keep grasping at these days is ‘impunity’

You said it, Ronni.

Also, gives their longsuffering wives a break.

I reckon let them have their exclahoosive safe spaces. Why any woman or non-old-white-fogey would want to join them is a mystery.

Ha, that sounds like I’m talking about the Libs!

Apologies: You Have Reached the End of Your Free-Trial Period of America! Want rule of law? That’s premium.

They can’t be stupid, so they must be wantonly crooked to do this.

Who needs wisdom when you can be the richest idiot in the world?

Two frames. Both show couple outside building with AUCTION sign looking at brochure. Frame 1: Person one says, “It’s perfect, but we’ll never be able to afford it.” Person two says, “But the govt’s first homebuyers’ assistance scheme means we only need a 5% deposit…” Frame 2: person one says, “The same 5% the price went up since the last time we said we’d never be able to afford it?”

Pump it up.

Trust you to hit the sweet spot Matt. 😘
